Q&A with Brittany Garrison
What do you like most about being a Medicare agent?
Answer: Providing PEACE of MIND! So many individuals that I meet are simple confused about their benefits or Medicare in general especially those aging into Medicare and transitioning. So I most like being able to EDUCATE & EMPOWER people about Medicare so that their person confidence goes up.
My Medicare Advantage plan covers dental, but I can't find a dentist who accepts it. Is this a common problem?
Answer: You're 1000% NOT the only person frustrated by this. A lot of Dentists sometimes work on a separate network all together from the one your PCP may use. So here's what I'd suggest, call the number on the back of your card for Member Services and ask for the dental network name. You can search the carriers website for in-network dentists near where you live. Lastly, if you feel like that network is just too limited, consider this to be something to review during AEP and/or consider adding on a stand alone dental policy! Hope this helps.
How do you educate clients who are completely new to Medicare?
Answer: This question actually comes up for me every single day.
The truth is Medicare can feel like you're learning a different language. Part A, B, C, D... Advantage vs. Supplement... for most people, it's so many details that it becomes overwhelming.
I educate in a few ways:
1) Webinars -- I host a weekly webinar called "How to Prepare for Medicare" where we break down all the steps in regards to getting started with Medicare.
2) YouTube -- I started a Youtube Channel Dedicated to educating new clients on Medicare in the Simplest way possible.
3) Guide -- I give my clients a free Medicare Planning Guide that simplifies the Medicare jargon
4) Start Smart Book -- I give my clients a free book as well that helps navigate.
5) LinkedIn -- I have a Newletter called "Medicare Made Simple" that has a ton of common questions about medicare and medicare transitions.
6) Tiktok -- I couldn't believe it but there are a TON of clients I've met through short simple understanding videos on Medicare.
Because I hear from you all daily, I want to help simplify the complexity of Medicare to help all my clients not only feel a sense of direction but personal empowerment not just with how I can help but with WHAT you now understand!
My mom is considering switching to a Medicare Advantage plan because her friends say it's better. She's scared of losing her current doctors. How can we check?
Answer: People often HEAR that Medicare Advantage is better because of all of the perks it has included in it but what will really matter for your mom is the doctors that she trusts being in network.
Here's how to check:
1) Get the EXACT name of the Medicare Advantage plan she's looking into
2) Go to the insurance companys provider directory (they're all online)
3) Search each of the doctors names
4) Confirm they're in the network for that specific plan and network.
Medicare isn't one size fits all!
What's the best way for seniors to protect themselves from Medicare-related scams?
Answer: The BEST way to protect yourself from Medicare Related scams in my opinion is to find a personal BROKER/AGENT to work with. Because unfortunately, these companies and call centers will continue to call and it really is often enticing and will have you questioning if you're truly getting all the best your plan or Medicare has to offer. I have found that my clients have a sense of peace in knowing that even IF it sounds good, that they have someone who can verify their benefits, whats available to them and if what they've been told is even legit. DO NOT get caught up in all the "potential benefits". It's typically just a plight to change your plan for them to receive a commission and you'll never hear from them again. Find a TRUSTED broker/agent that will call you before you call them throughout the year!
